if you want a merc, why not spend half the money and get a c63 amg. back seats, looks almost as good, same damn engine, better transmission, newer with better tech, same damn exaust note?
unless bragging right is your thing, there is no point to spend double for practically less car. |

I think the M6 looks much better in person but isn't a car I'd call "pretty" by any stretch of the imagination. Sub Zero -- the Mas Gran Turismo is simply beautiful, I do agree. I would just worry about the cost of ownership with the Ferrari engine, etc. |

Believe it or not......the SL65 AMG BS is one of my select few dream cars. The only one I've seen close up in person is Alex Ovechkin's. Simply fantastic. |

A simple review of both your post history and mine would easily answer that question. I owned an E46 M3 before my C63. I also had two X5 4.6is before that. Furthermore I also had a deposit down on an E92 M3 back in Dec 06 waiting and lurking this site for the car to be revealed. However as faith would have it I got something else. This is the first Mercedes I ever had. I understand you have your own opinion I was just pointing out how one-sided it seems to always be.

I'd just ignore the fanboys. There's no way to rationally discuss a topic with someone who is blinded by zealous devotions. Just let them scream and yell until they wear themselves out.
Btw, have you driven your car in the snow? I'm curious about AMGs with/with out snow tires. |

Unfortunately once, I got caught in a snow storm but luckily was close to work so I had a place to leave the C63. My car has Michelin PS2's on it which I'm sure everyone knows is like driving with a death wish in snow. Again this is when my car was stock. I was able to get a ride from my brother who has a 2004 S4 which was the first year of the V8 platform. That can is an absolute TANK in the snow even with all-season tires.

You'll see a c63 on the road, that's why. A BS is never seen which makes it worth every penny. It's rare, and it's presence is unmistakeable. No one sees a bs and says "oh look, it's another bs" They say "oh fuck it's a black" |

The CLK Black is my favorite Merc in production right now. I would take one over an M3 in a heartbeat.

I drove my e46 in the lightest of snow a couple of times with PS2s on it. Death wish nails it about as accurately as I could put it. My e90 with Michelin Alpins has been a joy. I look forward to the snow. AWD is great in the snow (had a few Audis), but I think the biggest improvement comes from having good winter tires. Sorry for the thread jack.

Just like the M3 is just another 3 series. I never buy a car for presence or status and don't give a rat's ass about other people's admiring glances. I simply don't get people who care about these things.

I take it back, I test drove the BS today and its crap on toast compared to the DCT M3
Gear changes are slow as hell but it does have some grunt though. Chassis is stiffer and heavier than the M even with KW coil overs, steering feels heavy, just shit, and worst of all ESS cant supercharge it. Compared to my ESS VT2 600 M3 there is no comparison. They have a 2005 DTM with 1800 miles on it to test drive this week. Will let you all know how that compares. I think X6M is where I'm going, my M3 goes to its new owner next week, so the decision time is near |

I saw a CLK63 AMG the other day in black just like in the picture. Driven by a blonde in the right lane doing the speed limit. Beautiful car and the girl too, shame it's sort of wasted.

Your complaint is that the Black is sluggish and you're going with an X6M? You must need the room because the X6M is an incredibly lazy shifter (and a lot slower than the Mercedes).
